I called about a week or week and a half ago and asked about getting a cable and calibration for my newly completed hot rod. I was told $250.00, which I thought was pretty high, but hey, to be safe you need a speedometor, and theese are the only guys in town. I was also told it would take a half a day.
So when my schedule cleared up I made an appointment.
I took the car in about 9:45 and was very excited about getting this taken care of. I hadn't heard from them so I called at about 3:30, thinking maybe I gave them the wrong phone # and was told they were still working on it.
They close at 5:00 so I started back down there at 4:30 hoping they would be done. Got a call at 4:45 saying that the car was done and I had to be ther by 5:00. I'm glad I left when I did.
Any way, bottom line is he said the total was $336.00 and some change. Now I understand that the $250.00 was an estimate, but this was considerably higher. I think I should have at least gotten a phone call telling me the difference before they proceeded with the work I am un employed and a surprise expense like that is very hard to take.
When I questioned the total, they just kind of shrugged as if to say ""too bad""
If I had to do it over again I would try very hard to find another way.
